Our Forever Flame
Seventeen-year-old Princess Ember of the Phoenix Kingdom was born into an era of uneasy peace. For years, her people and the Dragon Kingdom have coexisted under a fragile truce, the remnants of ancient wars buried beneath a thin veil of diplomacy. But peace, like fire, is unpredictable-and all it takes is one spark to set everything ablaze. That spark ignites just days after Ember meets Nineteen-year-old Prince Xiodis. Their encounter is unplanned, their connection instant-two heirs from rival lands, drawn together by something deeper than duty or alliance. Ember is flame: fierce, impulsive, and full of heart. Xiodis is the calm before the storm: sharp, composed, and unshakably strong. In each other, they find something rare-understanding in a world that only expects obedience. But just as they begin to uncover what they truly mean to each other, Xiodis is betrothed to Princess Ella of the Wolf Kingdom, sealing an alliance that threatens everything he and Ember have begun to build in secret. Now, with the bonds of loyalty pulling them in opposite directions, Ember and Xiodis must choose: betray their hearts or betray their kingdoms. Because in a world where love is a liability, every choice comes with a cost. Our Forever Flame is a tale of love caught in the crossfire, of destiny rewritten, and of two hearts who dared to hope for more-even as the world around them burns.Complete
